A GOAT FARM. A Woman’s Venture which has Proved Profitable. Raising Angora Gents and Selling Their Wool at One Dollar a Pound. A Nynek, (N. Y.,) letter to the New York Timet , says: Three miles from this village, near tho Hudson River, isan Angora goat farm, which from its nov< 1- ty attracts much attention hereabout. It is looked upon as something in the na¬ ture of a farmer’s freak, like the raising of bees or silkworms. Goats browse and goats prosper on this farm on the heights that border Rockland Lake as readily as they do on the rocks about Shantytown, in New-York City. But they are a differ¬ ent breed of goats more aristocratic than their city relatives as to wool, more epic¬ urean in their tastes, and more blue- blooded as to ancestry. The herd in this somewhat novel farm just now num¬ bers 75, varying in age from the tiny ob¬ ject of three months which looks like a cross between a dog, a rabbit, and lady’s powder puff, to the handsome pa¬ triarch of the flock, a magnificent men of the pure Angora bleed, with im¬ mense curling horns. This handsome old fellow with his wife were imported by I)r. Agnew, the famous oculist of New- York, from Asia Minor, and the impor¬ tation cost him a heap of money as price of goats goes. Their present own¬ er is the good woman who now runs tlrs goat farm, and who never tires of dis¬ c-anting' on the good qualities of her pets. They know her voice, and answer to their names when she calls them. Kind and gentle they appear when visitors arc about, but the fondness for fighting, as characteristic of goats as it is of a native of Tipperary, crops out when the herd is together and apparently out of sight of mamand. A strange fact noticed in the breeding of these animals is that the females do not thrive in this locality as well as the male. The hardy female goat of the or- dinary species was introduced into this flock for experimental breeding purposes, und with marked success. Repeated crossing with the common goat and her offspring lias produced apparently pure Angora goats, the tendency being in all cases lor the kids to revert in fhu texture of their wool toward tlie male side. As a consequence the third generation has nil the appearance of its distinguished an¬ cestry, and in the fourth generation even the best experts cannot tell the pure blooded from the erode Angora. This fact is a matter of considerable interest to breeders of goats, as an Angora buck cost $100 or over, while tlie common goat can , be , had , almost , for ... the asking. ^ The fecundity' * of -c the -t Angora i is not so great as that of the common goat, the Angora ewe giving birth to but one kid yearly. As a source of pro Tit the goats have _ turned out well. Tlie wool is from four to six inches in length, silky, and of beautiful texture. A full' grown animal will yield four pounds of wool, which will readily sell at *1 per pound. Just now the d t^nd for this wool is not par¬ ticularly lively, as the lustrous dress of fabric into which it was at one time largely converted is out of vogue with fashionable ladies. It is therefore used almost exclusively in the manufacture of plush for Upholstery purposes. When the kid is 0 months old its hide, un¬ dressed, is worth $8, and will sell readi¬ ly for that amount to glove manufactur- ers. Kids on the farm is Mmtjoa amount meet with sudiko -oVifth on that at --'’'’Ait that age with considerable regular¬ ity. When it is necessary to kill them the good lady has them chloroformed so that she may no8 hear the death cries of her little pets. The milk of the goat is much sought after by dyspeptics, by per¬ sons suffering from pulmonary troubles, and by otherwise delicate persons, aud it brings a much greater price than cows’ milk. As to their use for food little can be said, because the ghat does not flesh up well, but the kid, when killed young, furnishes a fair amount of tender meat which some people like. It will never become a great delicacy in the market, or be in sufficient demand to become a source of income to the gout raiser. There is nothing in the world so c .heap to raise as goats, because they will lind nin- jile food in lots up here where other ani¬ mals would starve to death. Acorns arc a favorite article of food with them, and as these abound in the woods the cost for Winter fodder is mainly confined to the trouble of gathering the acorns. —--- Newspaper and Orator. Compare the orator, one of the nob'est vehicles for the diffusion of thought, with the newspaper, and you may gam a faint glimpse of the ubiquitous powers of the latter. The orator speaks to hut a few hundred, the newspaper addresses millions; the words of the orator may die in the air, the language of the newspaper is stamped on tallies imperishable as mar¬ ble; arguments of the orator may follow each other so rapidly that the majority of the audience may struggle in a ni t work of ratiocination, the reasoning of the newspaper may be scanned at leisure without a fear of perplexity; the passion of the oi»tor influences an assembly, the leelir.g of a newspaper electrifies a conti¬ nent; the orator is for an edifice, the newspaper for the world—the one shines for au hour, the other glows for all time; the orator inay be compared to lightning, which flashes over a valley for a moment, but leaves it again in darkness, the uews- paper to a sun blazing steadily over the whole earth, and fixed on the basis*of its . own eternity. Printing has been happily defined the art that preserves all arts. It catches up his dying words and breathes into them the breath of life. It is the gallery through which the orator thun¬ ders in the ears of ages. He leans from the tomb over the cradle of the rising generations. Hiding Vafiiables. Speaking of silver, Rays M. G. McClel¬ land in the Chicago I'imea, reminds me of a little story I heard a Richmond lady tell my mother some time after the cajv turc. She had a quantity of valuables and stowed them about in every conceiv¬ able place for safety. Among other things she had a huge solid silver fire¬ man’s trumpet, which had been presented to her husband by the volunteer fire brigade of Richmond many years beforo in recognition of his service as their chief. This trumpet was forgotten in the general hiding of valuables, and the Yankees were fairly In sight -when she discovered it resting ostentatiously in the middle of the centcr-tabie in the parlor. She was loath to lose it, knowing that her husband valued it greatly, but where to stow away the big thing she could not think. At last she took it out to an old negro man who was very much attached to her husband, explaining her dilemma, and told him to take the thing away and hide it. Long before the end of the three days she gave the trumpet up for lost, as the soldiers, not. being hurried, poked about in every hole and cranny with a preseverance and fertility of re¬ source worthy of a better cause. But. the day after they departed the old negro presented himself at the house with smiles on his countenance and the trumpet under his arm. On being questioned, lie explained that he had “toted dc horn down de hill an’ jammed it up in one ole holler log what was sorter layin’ in de creek, an’ too soggy fur to make fire.” lie had stuffed uj> the opening in the end with wet leaves, and calmly watched tho soldiers sitting on the log by the hour at a time without the faintest suspi.iou of its silver heart. Killing a Giraffe. The noble animal stood at bay pawing and stamping the ground, his long neck swaying to aud fro; several more shots were fired at him, causing him to strike desperately with his fore feet a blow which would k'nock a horse down. Dis¬ 1 mounting, I ran to get a nearer view. j There was despair in his large drooping brown eyes, and a look which seemed to 1 say, "AVhat harm have I ever done you?” ; It seemed a shame that no one gave him a i coup dc grace, and put him out of his agony. Turning to one of the men 1 said, "Shoot him in tlie head, and put an end to his pain.” But he answered me by grasping my arm and pulling me to one side, shouting, “Look out, or he will bo on you.” Looking up I saw the crazy j creature swinging his head about, his ' long neck putting me in mind of an | ' anaconda, as it fairly whirled through the air, forming wide circles as he mado i desperate plunges to keep his bodv un¬ r. * ! der , hi* ,. neck; . pitching . . forwara. , , he , fell , on j his head and shoulders, and rolled over with a thud that shook tho ground. Ho was a “zwart bout” (black-spotted, the variety usually seen iu zoological collec¬ tions ; the white-spotted ones are longer and finer' made, and have never been brought to Europe, and are never so heavy). He measured from the root qf the tail to the shoulder 0 feet 1 inch, and from the shoulder to the tip of the uose 10 feet 7 1-2 inches .—London Graphic. Short History of Candles.

In Europe afterward this candle was in use during the middle ages, tho wick bciug of twisted tow. Often these were very large and heavy. Among the poorer classes candles were made by soaking splints of wood in fat or oil. The use of these wood splints is mention- ed in English history about tlie begin¬ ning of the fourteenth century. Wax caudles were, also made during this cen¬ tury, but they were expensive and deem¬ ed a great luxury. Scon after this a dipped candle made from tallow was in¬ troduced. A company for making wax candies was incorporated in London in 1484. Mold candles arc said to bo the invention of the Sieur Le Brez, of Paris. Spermaceti candles are of modern manu¬ facture. —Chicapo Inter-Ocean. Goats as Animal Doctors. It is a curious fact that, prejudiced as we seem to be against the useful goat, in spite of all its really admirable proper¬ ties, it lias been from very early times popular iu this country, on account of a virtue which is purely fictitious and fan¬ ciful. Antiquity has bequeathed to us the legend that goats were exceptionally wise in the matter of wholesome herbs, that they were, in fact, the herbalists among quadrupeds and “cunning in sim¬ ples.” Out of this grew the idea that they were virtually physicians, that their presence among domestic animals was beneficial, and that their odor, though unpleasant to man, was wholesome to horses, cows, pigs, sheep, and the farm¬ yard generally. For this reason one sin¬ gle goat was often kept, and farmyards may still bo found where "Betty” or "Nanny” lives at its ease, and is main¬ tained, not for any real use it is put to, but in deference, perhaps quite unknow¬ ingly, to an almost obsolete superstition, —London Telegraph. Hawk and Cat. A huge California hawk swooped down on a sleeping cat at Santa Rosa the other day, and bore it Equalling and scratching high in the air. When about 500 leet high the hawk lost its grip, end the cat cuinc down with fearful velocity, but the hawk caught it again just before it struck the earth, and was carrying it off, when suddenly both fell like lead to the ground. The cat had bitten through the hawk’s head, killing it instantly, and the fall killed the cat. FOR THE FARM AND HUME, I>rptli to Now XVlieaf. Experiments in sowing by Mr. Charles A. Plumb at the Geneva (N. Y.) Expcri- nent Station showed that wheat sown from one-quarter, and from this to one- half, three-quarters, one k one and a half, iwo, and two and a half inches deep terminated from ninety-one down to i eighty grains—the latter at two and two ind a half inches—per 100 sown. But I'he winter-killing was most severe in the ;„i«. .lightly covered, beieg eighty- seven plants at one-quarter inch and only eight at two and a half inches deep. from this latter depth down to a depth of seven inches the results were more and more unfavorable. At six and seven inches only nine plants came up. Tho conditions were bad and the winter-kill- ng severe, and undoubtedly from the fact that in deep seeding the plants come ip exceedingly weak, are obliged to put out surface roots for support, and hence remain weak. The results and these have been pretty constant in other like experiments show that, anywhere from wo three inches, ucconting to whether the soil be heavy or light, ’ is the proper depth , for , sowing . wheat. , But in this connection the farmer must not be misled ... m the sowing ... of spring grains. . From to and . , half ,, inches . , . the one one a is proper depth for wheat and rye, and lomewliat more for barley and oats. In flax the best results will probably come in covering not to exceed one inch, The grain thus throws out its feeding roots within the influence of heat and moisture, gradually going deeper and deeper as the season advances. The Rainyard. Of all the leaks on a farm, says the Rural World, a leaky, sloping barnyard is the worst. The time-honored fashion of placing the barn on a knoll or the highest spot of land near the house is a most reprehensible one. More wealth glides away from such a sunny, elevated barnyard than can be computed. It must reach far up into the millions annually. The number of barns that are so placed that the water that falls from the roof at each rain and rushes through and washes out the most valuable soluble portions, can be numbered by the hundreds of thousands. Every level-headed farmer has, or should have, a level or slightly concave barnyard, much in the form of an invert¬ ed watch crystal. If flat, and the bot¬ tom is of clay, the outer edge should be raised to a height of at least one foot, so that no water xveuld escape that had fallen in the form of rain. For the purpose of converting the largest proportion of the wheat straw in¬ to valuable manure, the stack should be built in the centre of such a yard, and sufficient straw be scattered from time to time to keep the yard in a passable con- tion. To make the manure heap of the great¬ est value, the manure of the various kinds of farm animals should be daily or fre¬ quently scattered over the straw in the yard, so that each, possessing a distinct¬ ive value of its own, would become thor¬ oughly commingled, and thus form r manure in common, that is_ espccit?jly well adapted to growing all kinds of crops. Such daily or weekly deposits in the manure bank enable the thrifty far¬ mer to check out from ft'me to time a reasonable nuMunt of valuable manure Without danger of overdrawing his ac¬ count. The farmer who has a good bank of well-decomposed manure made annually subject to his order, is, and can be, the only true independent one, for the income derived from abundant crops will as surely make him so as ten times one are ten. Feed the soil, and it will, in turn, feed, clothe and enrich you. Strawberries. Some people recommend planting in May and June, and others in September and October; each practice has its adher¬ ents, and while they are settling which is best we will prepare our ground by deep trenching and a liberal dressing, from the compost heap, and then we will tell them that the best time for planting the straw¬ berry is as soon as you can get the frost out of the grouud in the spring. If planted in September and October, more than one-half of the young plants are thrown out and destroyed by frost, and if planted in May and June, the hot, dry weather coming on before they have got a permanent hold of the soil shrivels more than one-half of them up; but when planted before the sun has much power, and while there is plenty of moisture in the ground, and generally a liberal al- lowancc of showers, they commence with the season and never go back. The strawberry should be planted two feet apart between the rows, and about eight inches between the plants : these, the year after planting, will give an abun¬ dant yield, and in spring should be top- dressed with a mixture from the compost heap and rather more than half de¬ cayed barnyard manure. The com¬ post and the decayed parts of the ma¬ nure will feed the plants, and the littery parts of the manure drying will not only act as a mulch by keeping the sun from drying the ground, but will also keep the fruit and flowers clean during heavy rain. When the fruiting season is over, this long stuff can be raked off and carted ■with other garden refuse to the heap, and the rest of the stuff forked in. The plants should be encouraged to make good strong crowns for next year’s fruiting. If the weather is very dry during June, when the strawberries arc coming into flower, give copious waterings; far better leave it alone than half do it. and if the ground gets two or thrpe good floodings, the top-dressing will keep it moist most through the fruiting season. Every third year, instead of digging the plat up and planting another, train the runners into middle between the rows and peg them down. With the liberal top-dressing we have given the soil, here will be just the thing for a new bed, and as soon as tha yoting plants can do without their foster- ing mother the old ones can be cut off and carted to the heap uforesaid, some of the decayed parts of the heap brought ! back in their place and dug in, and by 1 the full wo will have a flourishing bed of i g„ e strong crowns that will yield a 8p iendid crop the coming season." And this may be repoated every third year, renewing the ground and plants in tho Silm e manner, This is a way of my own. _ Vick's Magazine. — . .. ^ rat-proof corn-bm may le mar c by liniu . £ tlie inside of nn 0 ‘dinary bin with No. 4 wire.

Most crops, excepting clover, derive their food mainly from the first five or six inches in depth of the soil. If we can keep the surface fertile nothing more is needed. Pulverizing the subsoil by the subsoil plough is useful mainly to en¬ able it to hold more moisture and to open it so that roots may go down in search of it. On large farms thero are necessarily many horses employed eluting summer, and if these are mado a bill of expense during half tho year or more it is little wonder if the winter consumes all the profits of the year. On grain farms cut straw, with ground feed of some kind, is much more economical than the usual ration of hay and grain. It will not do to crowd the ewes with their lambs into a small pen with all the other sheep. In trying to get theii share of the rations they will be injured by the crowding and jamming which at¬ tend the feeding. The ewes need extra quiet and comfort for some time aftei the birth of their young, anil confining in such quarters is all wrong.
